FORD FOCUS2013 · 1.6L Diesel

The 2013 Ford Focus demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with the most recent MOT on 2025-11-22 at 148,865 miles recording a pass and no defects. The prior three annual tests from 2022 to 2024 also passed without issues, suggesting consistent maintenance. However, a failed test on 2022-11-03 at 118,367 miles—though no defects were listed—raises a minor anomaly that warrants scrutiny. No recurring mechanical or structural faults are evident in the recorded history, indicating the vehicle has met regulatory standards in recent years. The mileage progression aligns with typical usage for a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging 11,451 miles annually. The gap between the 2022-11-10 test (118,372 miles) and 2023-11-29 test (127,777 miles) shows a 9,405-mile increase over 12 months, consistent with average annual usage. No significant spikes or prolonged inactivity periods are apparent in the data, suggesting regular operation. The absence of defects in the last four MOTs reinforces that the vehicle has not exhibited critical wear or deterioration in key systems. A buyer should verify the condition of suspension components, particularly given the 2022 failure, and inspect for signs of corrosion or structural fatigue, as these can develop over time without immediate detection. Brake systems, including discs and calipers, should be checked for uneven wear, while the exhaust and emissions systems may require closer examination due to the vehicle’s age. The lack of recorded defects in recent tests is reassuring, but physical inspection remains essential to confirm the integrity of components not flagged in the MOT history.
